Our Story at MidStates Wireless

MidStates Wireless, formerly known as Elder’s Radio Communications, was originally formed in 1946 to work on consumer electronics during and following WWII when replacement parts were difficult to find. Elder’s Radio Communications installed its first commercial RF communications in a fleet of taxi cabs for Doyle Cab Company in Fargo, ND.


A lot of time has passed and business has changed, but the company has remained in the same family for the past 70 years and has been handed from one generation to the next. Today, the corporation deals primarily in commercial two-way, public safety, and interoperability solutions from the RF subscriber to the dispatch center technology. These solutions include everything up to the construction and maintenance of the tower facilities.


We are ready and eager to help with your business communication needs. Get in touch with us now for a free consultation and on-site estimate!
